We Love Norml

February 7, 2009 By WeSmoke Leave a Comment

We love the Norml organization. What more can we say? Anyone that has dedicated their existence to the legalization of marijuana for adult consumption is number one in the eyes of the “We smoke marijuana” community. It wasn’t long ago that I first heard of the Norml organization, but I was glad I did. If you have not heard of them before, they are a nonprofit organization with this mission below as taken from their website Norml.org. 

NORML MISSION STATEMENT

NORML’s mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty.

NORML FIGHT FOR THREE RIGHTS

1) Cannabis for personal use – Responsible adults should have the right to recreational use to cannabis, week, pot, what ever you want to call it. We are adults making decisions that effect our life. So long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, we are within our right to personal marijuana use.

2) Cannabis for Medical Use - The benefits and positives for medical use are becoming more and more amazing. You can get NORML’s view of the Medical Necessity Defense here. The wonderful thing is their level of detail for the argument and the court cases that are sited. They are serious about the legalization of marijuana and their organization is committed to making it happen.

3) Hemp for Industrial Use - It is amazing how many things can be made from hemp for industrial use. Everything from hemp building materials, rope, concrete, and more can be produced from renewal sources. The hemp actually grows out of the ground and have many use for the people and society. But our narrow mindedness is keeping us from maximizing our opportunities for the greater good.

Is Marijuana Bad?

February 7, 2009 By WeSmoke 1 Comment

The question of if marijuana is bad for people has come up again and again, long with the legalization of marijuana. Despite the numerous studies that show the harmlessness of marijuana on the body over time and in the short period, people still have this misconception that marijuana is bad for them.

Is Marijuana Bad?

Let’s compare the effects of marijuana to the legal cigarettes for a moment. It will only take a moment because once your realize what the science is, you will understand how absurd this comparison and conversation even is. Cigarettes have been demonstrated to cause lung cancer in the majority of it’s users over time. In the short run, cigarettes even harm the people around the smoke because we all know that second hand smoke is almost as deadly as smoking the cigarette yourself. Cigarettes are so bad that many states, including Illinois, has band the smoking of cigarettes indoors.

Now Marijuana

There are no reputable studies that link marijuana to lung cancer or any other diseases. In fact, marijuana is only linked to helping and curing many medical conditions such as glaucoma, various cancers, eczema, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and more. 

To be honest, there is no question that marijuana is not harmful or bad, but in fact that is the closest thing to a wonder drug that is on the market…including all of the synthethic drugs that are on the market as well. Take a moment to do some of the research for yourself and I think you will find that marijuana is not only not bad for you, but actually good.

Long Term Effects of Marijuana

Marijuana is an interesting subject. And if you are like me, you have wondered about the long term effects of marijuana. 

As a marijuana smoker, I can tell you that the effects of marijuana or the high that you feel when you smoke marijuana wears off after a couple of hours. It depends of the potency and amount of the marijuana that you smoke. Typically, I am smoking upper level marijuana as the garbage weed gives me a head ache and you don’t have to smoke so much of the good stuff to get to an enjoyable high. These couple of hours are filled with joy and excitement once I spark it up.

Long Term Effects of Marijuana

Truth be told, you probably came here looking for scientific data on the long term effects of marijuana. The funny thing is that there are not any good studies out that paint marijuana as a negative on the body over long periods of time. The fact of the matter is that people have been smoking marijuana on this planet for the past several thousand years. 

Long Term Effects of Marijuana

Many regular, everyday marijuana smokers enjoy long fruitful lives that are filled with fulfilment and excitement. Marijuana can be that catalyst any day for anyone. Have you tried marijuana yet? If so, spark one up. If not, spark one up. It is about time you tried something different.

Marijuana Addiction

February 2, 2009 By WeSmoke 1 Comment

I have a hard time believing a person can be addicted to marijuana, but suppose anything is possible. As a smoker, I have been able to control my love for this plant that it has never caused a problem in my life.

When I started smoking marijuana in college, there were obviously a lot of people doing the same thing. A good friend of mine would say that he doesn’t believe that everyone is mature enough to smoke marijuana. Some people just have addictive, self-destructive behaviors where sure, the marijuana or alcohol or whatever might have been the vehicle for a persons demise, but it is their internal dialog with destruction that is the root cause of it.

Marijuana is a great substance, but like all things you are to use it in moderation. Many people cannot come to grips with the thought of moderating or denying themselves, despite all the evidence showing that you have to monitor all your activities. These people that cannot control themselves and just smoke and smoke and smoke and smoke, give us mature marijuana smokers a bad name.

Marijuana Addition

So, can people be addicted to marijuana? Absolutely, but I would look for the root to find out what makes these people tick. And I bet you find someone that is not mature enough to handle smoking marijuana in the first place.

Negative Effects of Marijuana

February 2, 2009 By WeSmoke Leave a Comment

If you are smokiing marijuana or not, you have wondered about the negative effects of marijuana. We all have at one time or another. There is one critical point that I must give you in order to have this conversation of negative effects of marijuana. That point is there are multiple ways to consume the THC in marijuana to activate the effects of marijuana we commonly desire.

Smoking Marijuana

Most people only thing about smoking marijuana as a way to get high, but there are other ways. Yes, this method is probably the most common method in the world. Just conceed that there are others, such as vaporizors, eating, drinking the marijuana. And I am sure there is something that I am not aware of also.

Negative Effects of Marijuana

If you are going to smoke marijuana, then yes, I suppose there is an increase risk of lung cancer. I mean, it is smoke that you are taking into your body. There are not much research that suggest smoking marijuana leads to lung cancer like cigaretts, but I would believe there is a possibility.

Getting Stuck!

This is a phrase that explains what happens to you when you smoke too much marijuana and cannot move. The first time this happens to you, you might freak out. But the skilled marijuana smoker knows from experience that this is just a moment that lets you know you have had too much, and you are frozen.  That has to be a negative….although the experience is an interesting one.

The Bottom Line on the Negative Effects of Marijuana

If you are waiting for me to drop the bomb like marijuana is REALLY BAD FOR EVERYONE, then obviously you are in the wrong place. I mean think about the. The title of the website is We Smoke Marijuana.

We concede that there are some negative effects of marijuana, but those are out shadowed by the benefits and upside.
